Opening students up to Close the Deal

Every time I attend a Close the Deal event, no matter where in the state, I hear the same thing from the adults there. “I wish they had something like this when I was in school.”

The sounds of summer

I live near a high school. Actually, right next to one. As the days led up to the beginning of the school year, I could hear the marching band practice while sitting on the porch. The music, muffled some by trees, has a peaceful sound, in a radio-on-in-the-background kind of way.

Bus driver trainers in training

A few weeks ago I received an email from Pupil Transportation Section Supervisor Elisa Hanley asking if I could come photograph the bus driver trainer program Vehicle at Speed. It sounded like an interesting opportunity, so of course I said yes.

From a teacher’s perspective

You have likely seen the GoPro camera. I thought it would be interesting to strap one on a teacher to see what a day in the classroom looks like from her point of view.

Summer food and summer fun

It was a fun day at the park recently for some Lexington kids from The Children's Spot Daycare. They played at the park, signed up for a library card, had lunch and were part of the Kentucky Summer Food Service Program kickoff press conference.
